I hope this helps (indirect problems)
Exoskeleton usually don't cause arthropods problems except when they're growing. Arthropod are like snakes the must break out of their shell in order to grow bigger. When arthropods break out of their shell they must wait until the new skin hardens and becomes a shell again. During this time most arthropods vulnerable to prey due to the lack of protection from their shell
Another problem would be the size of a crevice or hole when fleeing predators. If at the time of attack by a predator , the rigidity of the outer shell limits the size of the shelter to escape to.

Which of these has an exoskeleton arthropod worm vertebrate cnidarian?
An arthropod
What is the MAIN features of arthropoD?
An arthropod's main features are the segmented body, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
Where is an arthropods skeleton?
Arthropod have exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is composed of a thin, outer protein layer, the epicuticle, and a thick, inner, chitin–protein layer.
What characteristics do the animals need to be an arthropod?
If you're going to be classified as an arthropod, you'd need to have a segmented body, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
Do arthropods have backbones?
Do arthropods have backbones?No, it is the exoskeleton that holds the arthropod's body together. arthropods are invertebrates, which means they do not have backbones.
Which of these has an exoskeleton arthropod worm vertebrate cnidarian?
An arthropod
What keeps an arthropod from drying out?
The exoskeleton
What are the features of a arthropod?
exoskeleton, chitin, molting
The exoskeleton of an arthropod is?
composed of chitin
What process does an arthropod sheds its exoskeleton to grow a new one?
an arthropod sheds it old exoskeleton when it has grown to a point where it needs a larger exoskeleton. This process is called ecdysis.
What happens to an arthropod's exo skeleton as the arthropod grows up?
As the arthropod grows up, the exoskeleton sheds in order for the arthropod to grow inside of it.
What happens when an arthropod grows and its exoskeleton doesn't?
they shed thier exoskeleton for a new one
How does an arthropod grow larger?
Through shedding their exoskeleton.
What is a trait for an arthropod?
Arthropod traits include segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
What happens to the exoskeleton when an arthropod grows?
Because of the hardness and inflexibility of the arthropod exoskeleton, they are not suited to expansion and need to be shed or discarded entirely to allow the arthropod to grow. This action is usually called moulting.
Identify a characteristic that was most significant to arthropod success?
Exoskeleton
Does every arthropod have an exoskeleton?
Yes, all arthropods have exoskeletons
